1613 Football God
"After tonight, he will become a god!"
In the stands of the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, who was invited to attend as a guest, looked at the two teams facing the stadium and exclaimed with emotion.
Zidane, Manuel Redondo, Butragno and others around him nodded repeatedly.
After this battle tonight, Yang Yang has really become a god!
God of football!
It seems like no one could have thought that Yang Yang would eventually rule the European football world for more than ten years, and no one could have thought that he had just come out to coach alone for only one year, playing the dual role of player and head coach, and only half a year after he got the UEFA coaching certificate, Yang Yang actually led the team to the Champions League final, and it seemed that he was going to win the championship!
What an incredible achievement this is!
If Yang Yang's previous career was enough to make him a god, then in his coaching debut season, he led a recognized bottom turtle team to the Champions League final with a dark horse and finally won the championship, and he has become the supreme god!
No one can deny this!
Even FIFA or UEFA cannot do it!
It can be said that after tonight, Yang Yang's historical status in the world football world has become a foregone conclusion!
"To be honest, I know he has a lot of ideas and was very optimistic that he would succeed in coaching alone, but my earliest judgment was that he would be able to coach Ajax within three years at most, or return to the quarterfinals."
When Zidane said this, he kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly, because Yang Yang's performance was far beyond his expectations.
Isn't that the same thing happens to Florentino, Manuel Redondo, and Butragno?
Why don’t the media and fans around the world look down on Yang Yang?
What did the media and fans say about him when he coached Ajax a year ago?
Many people even think that he gave up on himself. After achieving success, he began to enjoy football and live on his credit card.
But who would have thought that a year later, he led the weak Ajax team for more than ten years to reach the Champions League final and win the championship!
Anyone who laughed at or suspected Yang Yang a year ago should feel the slap loudly at this moment.
"He is the most suitable coach for Real Madrid now, Florentino." Zida said in convincingly.
Florentino nodded repeatedly. His friendship with Zidane did not require any hypocrisy or perfunctory, just as Zidane and Yang Yang never politely, because their relationship had long exceeded that level.
"The Ajax team is a treasure trove today. I dare to conclude that in the next ten years, the players from this team will shine in European football and even dominate European football. So, don't hesitate at critical moments." Zidane reminded.
Florentino looked solemn, but nodded confidently, "I know Yang Yang's character, so I will do the bad guys. As for the players of Ajax... we will never let go easily!"
This is the team that is about to win the Champions League!
More importantly, the age of this group of players.
Currently, the oldest in Ajax's main lineup is Taliafico, who is only 26 years old. He can be said to be in his first year of playing, and the followers of Ndongbele, Frankie Dejong, Jovic, Militon and others are only in their early twenties.
Dricht and Sancho were only nineteen years old, Ashraf and Neres were only twenty years old.
But it was thanks to this group of players that Yang Yang forced them to the Champions League final. What an amazing coaching performance?
This group of young players has at least ten years left. How will they develop in the next ten years?
You should know that in addition to many factors such as strength and potential, a player's value is also a very important consideration, which is age.
For example, Mbappe may not be as strong as Neymar now, and his potential may not reach Neymar's height, but if he transfers now, his net worth will definitely be higher than Neymar.
The reason is simple. Neymar is already twenty-seven years old, while Mbappe is only twenty years old.
The age gap has caused Mbappe's value to soar, even surpassing Neymar.
The same is true for Ajax players nowadays.
Sometimes, Florentino really admires Yang Yang's eyesight and wrists.
Just to mention Odegao, who just replaced Ndongbele, was a player who performed poorly in Real Madrid's youth training camp and did not perform well in Vitus, but he found his own development path in Ajax. He showed amazing potential in the midfield.
After the end of this season, Frankie DeJong's transfer is a foregone conclusion. Odegao takes the lead and will become the core of Ajax's new generation of midfield and become the star that Ajax focuses on cultivating and building.
Not long ago, Yang Yang had just completed a three-year agreement with outstanding results and bought the remaining shares of Ajax for 100 million euros. His acquisition of Ajax only cost 150 million euros. But now, Frankie DeJong's transfer fee alone is almost at this price.
And what about other players?
Dricht, Jovic, Militon, Ndombele, Sancho, Nerez...
Yang Yang was simply profitable!
He completed the most valuable deal in football history!
Of course, from Florentino's standpoint, he doesn't mind Real Madrid introducing Ajax players at a high price, and even buying back Odgao and Ashraf at a high price.
The reason is very simple. Real Madrid is a member-based team. The club cannot make a profit, otherwise it will have to pay heavy taxes. Therefore, over the years, Real Madrid has been having a headache about making profits every year.
For Real Madrid, the most important thing is not the transfer fee. As long as the club can afford it, Real Madrid doesn’t care. The key is whether the players’ joining can bring a championship to Real Madrid!
If Florentino had some worries before, then now he has firmly believed it!

…………
On the court, Ajax first completed a substitution in the 74th minute.
Edge replaced Ndongbele, who consumed a lot of physical energy, and continued to use the double-middle midfielder style, but the two technical double-middle midfielders were more pass-by to maintain the team's advantage.
Ndongbele's performance tonight was not outstanding, it can only be considered as a perfect match, but it is no longer easy.
Just five minutes later, Yang Yang replaced Sancho with Van der Beck, Ajax changed into a 442nd formation, Odgao pulled to the right side, and the team began to retract appropriately.
With two goals in hand, Yang Yang did not intend to continue fighting with Klopp.
Adopting a more balanced 442 is also a shock to Liverpool, that is, Ajax hopes Liverpool will push it out.
But it was not until the 85th minute that Ajax completed his third substitution.
Young player Haaland replaced Jovic and partnered with Yang Yang to play two forwards.
Unlike Jovic, Haaland's sprinting speed is faster and he performs more vigorously.
The Norwegian young player did not disappoint Yang Yang. Within two minutes of playing, he dribbled the ball from his side and drove straight into the half, rushed to the front of Liverpool's penalty area, and shot directly, forcing Allison to save the ball from the baseline.
Even Van Dijk, who performed calmly this season, couldn't stand this naive tiger, and the performance of the Norwegian teenager was eye-catching.
...
Yang Yang's substitution can be said to be one step at a time.
It is neither easy to take risks, nor too conservative, but it consumes time steadily.
This made Klopp feel helpless. He also wanted to counterattack, but several counterattacks failed to work. Instead, Ajax seized the opportunity to score a goal, and even Haaland almost scored a goal just now.
It’s not that Klopp doesn’t want to win, but that there is no good way.
After a season of training, Yang Yang's Ajax team has become very mature, and the players' growth and progress are also very fast, so in the finals, he performed very calmly and sophisticatedly.
It can be said that apart from the start, Liverpool couldn't find any chance.
On the tactical level, Liverpool can be said to be unable to get any advantage, and the whole game was suppressed by Ajax.
In this case, how could Klopp expect a reversal in the last moment?
So, the game time was slowly consumed.
Liverpool tried to organize and plan the offense several times, but Ajax suppressed it back again and again.
Only the Reds fans still sang the team song "You Never Walk Alone" in the stands, encouraging the Liverpool players on the court, and the Ajax fans are also not to be outdone and are cheering for the Ajax players frantically.
In the end, the game time was exhausted!
...
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the entire Wanda Metropolitan Stadium fell into madness!
Almost all Ajax fans rushed up frantically, cheering and celebrating the victory with their hands and feet!
On the side of the court, Ajax's coaching staff, players and staff rushed into the court frantically, hugging the players who had fought in the court for 90 minutes and celebrating.
"Fifteen years!"
"After fifteen years of separation, a dark horse finally appeared in European football again!"
"What's interesting is that Ajax, a dark horse fifteen years ago, reached the Champions League final and finally won the championship. Fifteen years later, Ajax reached the Champions League final and defeated Liverpool to win the championship. This seemed like a cycle of history!"
"Fifteen years ago, Yang Yang was just starting out and making a name for himself. He was not the number one star in Ajax, but he played a crucial role. It was that in that season, he made the whole world know him for the first time!"
"Fifteen years later, he is already a 32-year-old veteran, but as a player and head coach, he led the team to the Champions League final. With two goals and tactical advantages of suppressing the whole game, he led Ajax to the Champions League championship that was separated by fifteen years, becoming the first team to win the Champions League in the past fifteen years."
"Let us congratulate Yang Yang! Congratulations to Ajax! Congratulations to these young players!"
"They have created miracles again, and they injected a fresh stream of blood into this dull European football world!"
"We want to thank Yang Yang! Thank you for the Ajax team he brought out! Thank you for the miracle he created! Thank you for making us believe that if you want to achieve results in European football, you don't need to blindly pile up stars!"
Chapter completed!
